Configuration

Most configuration options can be automatically populated by environment variables or in config/mailablelog.php, to generate it run php artisan vendor:publish.

To ensure all unhandled exceptions are mailed, set up a mail logging channel and add it to your logging stack in config/logging.php:

'channels' => [
    'stack' => [
        'driver' => 'stack',
        // Add mail to the stack:
        'channels' => ['single', 'mail'],
    ],

    // ...

    // Create a mail logging channel:
    'mail' => [
        'driver' => 'mail',
        // Specify who to mail the log to
        'to' => [
            [
                'address' => 'errors@designmynight.com',
                'name' => 'Error'
            ]
        ],
        // Optionally specify who the log mail was sent by
        // This is overidable in config/mailablelog.php and
        // falls back to your global from in config/mail.php
        'from' => [
            'address' => 'errors@designmynight.com',
            'name' => 'Errors'
        ],
        // Optionally overwrite the mailable template
        // 'mailable' => NewLogMailable::class
    ],
],

You can specify multiple channels and change the recipients and customise the email template per channel.
